England May Not Try To Lift Cup Next Year
London December 4 The sub committee has not released official word but it is understood the Duke of Westminster will not lead a team to Africa next season to contest the American Cup. Earlier Major Egerton Green said Hurlingham agreed to let Westminster helm the American Polo Association fund and to issue a challenge to compete in the International Polo Cup in America during the 1912 season. With January deemed the latest date to issue a 1912 challenge, difficulties in assembling a representative mounted team make a 1912 challenge unlikely.
